Sarah Palin = Homer Simpson

[key_lime_guy]

Here's a little tidbit from the latest Katie Couric/Sarah Palin interview, which I serendipitously caught on TV earlier tonight:

(Katie has just asked Palin which newspapers she reads to stay informed, only to be met with a barrage of hems and haws)

Couric: What, specifically?
Palin: Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me all these

BOB SLYDELL
Let's see. You're Michael...Bolton?

He nods.

BOB PORTER
Is that your real name?

MICHAEL
Yeah.

BOB PORTER
Are you in any relation to the pop singer?

MICHAEL
It's just a coincidence.

BOB SLYDELL
LAUGHS) TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, I LOVE HIS MUSIC. I DO . I AM A MICHAEL
BOLTON FAN. FOR MY MONEY, I DON'T THINK IT GETS ANY BETTER THAN WHEN HE
SINGS WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN.

BOB PORTER
I mean you must really love his music.

MICHAEL
Yeah. Yeah…he, he, he's pretty, he's pretty good, I guess.

BOB SLYDELL
You're GOD DAMN right he is.

They laugh.

BOB PORTER
So tell me. What's your favorite song of his?

MICHAEL
Hmm. I, I, I don't know. I mean, I guess, I sorta like 'em all.

Damn, I need to watch that again. It's been too long!

[key_lime_guy]

Yes! Found the clip! Boy, do I love YouTube.

Just to clarify, this idiot, who claims that she doesn't need to travel because she learns all she needs to know about the world from reading, cannot name a single newspaper or news magazine when prompted. She also later played the silly "My best friend is gay" card, and took the highly controversial position that she doesn't think that women should be locked up in jail for having abortions.

[crosstables]

Of course, once all the doctors are locked up for performing abortions, the world will be more to her liking....

i loved how SNL spoofed her last week. Tina Fey just recited Palin's actual answer to the bailout question, which was so bizarre that a comedy writer couldnt have even dreamed it up. what a moron.

Will The Scifi# Fans Forgive Us?

...if we just start calling her a 'skin job'? Honestly, invasion by aliens would be more on-message: Palin-drone is just an insult. 'Fascist blow-up doll' just has a slightly sexist ring to it.

Palin Fun Facts (a la Chuck Norris)

Sarah Palin once sent a back of candy back to M&M/Mars, saying that the "W&W's are defective."

Sarah Palin could not possibly have banned library books because she does not know what a library is.

Sarah Palin could not have given birth to her children because she 'doesn't know where babies come from.'

Sarah Palin IS an island unto herself, to which there is no bridge.

Sarah Palin sued Mattel for stealing her words for Barbie's "Math is haarrrrdddd" line...and won!

Sarah Palin once said we should have a space mission to the sun...at night!

Sarah Palin, when faced with impending destruction of the planet, will certainly 'have to get back to you about that.'

Once again, I have failed. We request the pleasure of your company for a free exchange of ideas.

She's not nodding, it's the air conditioning!
